diagnosis and suggested remedy

 

  A valve end user must decide if pressure relief is necessary in their situation as it is not possible for Velan to determine the end users needs. Pressure relief mitigates the problems of over-pressurization and pressure locking. However, two common forms of pressure relief result in the valve sealing in only one direction. If the valve has an internal hole in its disc or an equalizing pipe with no equalizing valve, it will only seal in one direction. Consult your project drawings to verify that this is the case.
